C.Man måste ha bil. (You must have a car.)
D.Man måste jobba helger. (You must work weekends.)
Explanation: The ad says 'erfaren lagerarbetare med truckkort' (experienced warehouse worker with forklift certificate). The forklift certificate (truckkort) is stated as a requirement. Nothing is mentioned about English, a car, or weekend work.

3Läs brevet från vårdcentralen. (Read the letter from the healthcare centre.) 'Din tid hos läkare Lindgren är bokad till tisdag den 14 maj kl. 09:30.

7Läs texten. (Read the text.) 'Försäkringskassan betalar ut sjukpenning till den som är sjuk och inte kan jobba. Du måste ha ett läkarintyg efter den åttonde sjukdagen.' När behöver man ett läkarintyg? (When do you need a doctor's certificate?)

Explanation: The text states 'du måste ha ett läkarintyg efter den åttonde sjukdagen' (you must have a doctor's certificate after the eighth sick day), meaning from day eight onwards. Days one through seven do not require a certificate according to this text.
8Läs annonsen. (Read the advertisement.) 'Hyr ett rum i centralt belägen lägenhet. 3 rok, nyrenoverat kök, tvättstuga i huset. 5 500 kr/mån inkl. el. Kontakt: 070-555 12 34' Vad ingår i hyran? (What is included in the rent?)
A.El ingår. (Electricity is included.)
B.Internet ingår. (Internet is included.)
C.Parkering ingår. (Parking is included.)

9Läs texten om sopsortering. (Read the text about waste sorting.) 'I Sverige sorterar vi sopor i olika kärl: matavfall, förpackningar av plast, papper, metall och glas, samt restavfall.

D.I matavfallet. (In the food waste.)

10Läs texten om föräldrapenning. (Read the text about parental benefit.) 'Föräldrapenning ger föräldrar möjlighet att vara hemma med sitt barn under barnets första år. Båda föräldrarna kan ta ut föräldrapenning. En del av dagarna är reserverade för varje förälder och kan inte överlåtas.' Vad stämmer om föräldrapenning? (What is true about parental benefit?)
A.Båda föräldrarna har rätt till föräldrapenning. (Both parents are entitled to parental benefit.)
B.Bara mamman kan ta ut föräldrapenning. (Only the mother can claim parental benefit.)
C.Alla dagar kan överföras till den andra föräldern. (All days can be transferred to the other parent.)
D.Man kan bara ta ut föräldrapenning om man jobbar. (You can only claim parental benefit if you work.)
Explanation: The text states 'båda föräldrarna kan ta ut föräldrapenning' (both parents can claim parental benefit). It also says some days are reserved and cannot be transferred, so option C is wrong. The text does not mention a work requirement.

About the SFI Kurs D (Svenska för invandrare) Exam

Kurs D is the highest course in SFI (Svenska för invandrare), Sweden's national Swedish-language programme for adult immigrants. The national test (nationella prov) for Kurs D assesses Swedish at approximately CEFR B1 level across four independent components: reading (läsa), listening (höra), writing (skriva), and speaking (tala). Texts and tasks reflect real-life immigrant integration contexts — notices, appointments, workplace documents, social insurance letters, and civic information. Grammar and vocabulary are embedded throughout all components. Successful completion of Kurs D typically enables access to further studies and the Swedish labour market. The test is administered at the student's SFI school, which is run by the municipality.

SFI Kurs D (Svenska för invandrare) Study Tips from Top Performers

1Read Swedish every day from authentic sources: Skolverket's own publications, 1177.se (healthcare), Arbetsförmedlingen.se, and lättläst (easy-read) news at sverigesradio.se/lättsvenska — these mirror the exact register and topics of the Kurs D reading section.
2For listening practice, listen to Swedish radio news (Sveriges Radio P4) and podcasts at normal speed; then re-listen at reduced speed using podcast apps. The höra section includes monologues, dialogues, and news-style audio at B1 pace.
3Learn the Swedish social-insurance vocabulary as a set: personnummer, Försäkringskassan, sjukpenning, läkarintyg, Arbetsförmedlingen, föräldrapenning, a-kassa, bostadsbidrag — these words appear across reading and listening tasks on the national test.
4Master Swedish V2 (verb-second) word order: when you start a sentence with a time word (igår, nu, i dag), the verb must come second and the subject third — this is the single most common word-order error on the written section.
5Practise en/ett gender with a vocabulary list. Sweden's national test embeds gender-agreement errors in MCQ options — knowing that 'bil' is en and 'hus' is ett prevents adjective and article mistakes.
6For the speaking section, prepare to discuss your daily life, your work or study situation, and your opinions on a Swedish civic topic. Use discourse markers: 'Jag tycker att...', 'Å ena sidan... å andra sidan...', 'Det beror på...' — they signal B1 discourse competence to the examiner.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the SFI Kurs D national test?

The SFI Kurs D national test (nationellt prov) is a standardised Swedish-language exam at approximately CEFR B1 level. It assesses adult immigrants in reading (läsa), listening (höra), writing (skriva), and speaking (tala) across everyday, civic, and workplace themes. It is developed by Stockholm University on behalf of Skolverket and administered free of charge at the student's SFI school.

What CEFR level is SFI Kurs D?

Kurs D corresponds to approximately CEFR B1 (Threshold/Intermediate). The SFI programme spans courses A through D: A and B are roughly A1–A2, C is approximately A2–B1, and D is B1 to B1+. Completing Kurs D demonstrates functional Swedish for work, study, and civic participation.

Is there a fee for the SFI Kurs D exam?

No. SFI is a municipally funded adult education programme and participation — including the national test — is free of charge for eligible adult immigrants. Contact your municipality or local SFI school to enrol.

What topics appear in the SFI Kurs D reading and listening sections?

Texts and audio cover everyday and civic contexts relevant to immigrant integration: healthcare appointments, social insurance (Försäkringskassan, Arbetsförmedlingen), workplace documents, housing, public transport schedules, notices, civic information, and Swedish society. Grammar and vocabulary are embedded within all tasks rather than tested in isolation.

How is the SFI Kurs D test scored?

Each component is assessed by teachers using Skolverket's national scoring guidelines (bedömningsanvisningar). There is no single published pass percentage; assessors judge whether the student's performance meets the required level (godkänt) across reading, listening, writing, and speaking.

What happens after completing SFI Kurs D?

Completing SFI Kurs D (or demonstrating equivalent B1 Swedish) opens pathways to Swedish upper secondary adult education (komvux), vocational programmes, university preparation, and the Swedish labour market. Some employers and educational institutions require documented SFI completion or equivalent Swedish proficiency as a prerequisite.
